ConnectAugust 2016

Excellent old property in a lovely secluded location - very comfortable and roomy. The host was very hospitable despite not being there! Highly recommended to those who like seclusion in a fine old property. Lovely surroundings and comfortable furnishing.

JonathanOctober 2016

Johnny and his family were wonderful hosts! They have a lovely, well-cared for space, that was thoughtfully prepared for our arrival. They were happy to answer any questions we had and easy to reach in order to plan our trip. It was a great experience overall!

SaraApril 2016

The apartment was clean, neat, and well-appointed. The grounds were marvelous! It was a short stay, but everything was as expected and quite lovely.

DominicJune 2016

Jonathan was a great host! He made sure I was aware of the details of the listing before our stay and sent a comprehensive document with information about getting to the house as well as everything we'd need to know while we were there. He also walked us through the place when we arrived to make sure we had everything we needed. We even borrowed a game from one of his sons! The house was beautiful and perfect for our short stay in the area. Close to good restaurants, bars, and hiking! My only complaint was that the living room area, particularly the couch, was not very comfortable for hanging out.

HannahOctober 2016

We had a wonderful time at Johnny's home. The place was as beautiful as it was in the pictures. A charming apartment in the back of their home which was completely private. Johnny was kind enough to let us use the grill. We really enjoyed our stay.

AdamAugust 2016

The apartment was magnificent and Jonathan and Amy made us feel so at home! We were in South Salem photographing a wedding, and wanted a place that was close by. Jonathan + Amy's apartment was perfect. It's private (with it's own little entrance), super stylish and comfortable. They were the right mix of giving us privacy, but also were kind enough to host us in their home for a night cap! I couldn't have asked for better hosts!

LaurenJune 2016

Our stay at Shaker Hollow was wonderful. I would encourage you stay here if you get the chance. Our Family Loved It! The house and grounds are as described- but even better ~ with panoramic views from every window. Jonathan was very responsive with anything we might need and in offering suggestions about the area in order to make our trip more enjoyable. We are definitely looking forward to coming back to Shaker Hollow in the future.

George's cottage is the coziest, best-stocked, and most comfortable of nature getaways. George was very friendly and gave us a detailed tour of the place, and was very accommodating even with the smallest things - thank you George! The cottage is clean, spacious, with a very well-equipped kitchen, comfortable, bed and couches, nice bathroom, a very nice deck/patio, and is only steps from the lake - there is a little dock where we enjoyed watching the sunset. We will be coming back again and again!

SergeNovember 2015

We enjoyed the long weekend at George's place. The house is light and airy, and is located right on the lake, so the views are gorgeous. Having a fireplace was a great perk, especially over the cold winter weekend we visited. And loved cooking in the big kitchen! George met us at the house and was very friendly -- appreciated him checking in on us as the temperature dipped. Hope to return in the summer months!

AmyFebruary 2016

We had a wonderful weekend getaway at George's cozy cottage! The house is just as pictured, photos are accurate. George was a delightful host. He met us at the house, gave us a tour and answered all of our questions. Luckily, we had great weather for February and were able to enjoy gorgeous Lake Waccabuc sunsets from the backyard, bird watching from the dining room, as well as hiking (located conveniently only 0.7 miles away). Fireplace was a great feature in the evenings when the temperature cooled down. We enjoyed our stay, can't wait to return! Thanks, George!

SeviFebruary 2016

Fantastic weekend!!! George's cottage is the perfect weekend getaway. The home is big but with a cozy feel, perfectly secluded and the surrounding areas are fantastic for hiking and photography. Both my girlfriend and I have used photos we took at the lake and a nearby hiking trail as the backgrounds of our phones for the record. Also, the fireplace is such a game changer for a quiet evening in. The highest possible recommendation. Thanks again to George for a perfect weekend.

JasonDecember 2015

George was extremely personable and thorough in giving us a tour of the place. He was always available for questions and gave us some great advice on the area. The place was well kept and the view was gorgeous! We hope to come again when the weather is more agreeable!

HeatherJanuary 2016

We had a fantastic time on Lake Waccabuc. George was a very nice host. He greeted us when we arrived and showed us around the house and provided a lot of very helpful information. The home has a beautiful view of the lake and a very nice dock with Andorak chairs, which we spent a lot of time in, taking in the view. It was a wonderful weekend getaway, and as the description says, it is a close and easy trip from Metro North train station. We look forward to returning.

MiaNovember 2015

The Place: Less than an hour from NYC, the cottage is spacious (for a cottage!), beautifully decorated, and has a stunning view of the lake. It also has a fully stocked kitchen, real fireplace, a beautiful outdoor deck, a BBQ a small dock on the lake, and kayaks/canoe for guest use. The Host: George was communicative, friendly, and gave us plenty of space :) He left us an easy-light log for us to use in the fireplace (which we did), made local recommendations (which we used), and was flexible with arrival/departure times. What we did (besides lazing in): Kayaked, Canoed, worked from the deck overlooking the lake, watched sunset over the lake/mountains from the dock, sang karaoke around the fireplace We had a wonderful time, and hope to go back again!

MikiSeptember 2016

the house was lovely! just as advertised with a breathtaking view. the fireplace made it a very cozy getaway for the weekend. George met us there to talk through the particulars and then we had a great time! highly recommended.

LibbySeptember 2016

My wife, our son and I had a wonderful stay at this comfortable, cozy apartment. Sometimes pictures don't do a place justice -- in this case, it was the opposite -- the pictures were very inviting, and the apartment itself even more so! Gerry and Tommy were great hosts -- helping us with arrival on a dark, rainy evening -- and had some holiday wishes already waiting for us on the dining table. This was a great find, exactly where we needed to stay, and we hope to stay with them again in the future!

PaulJanuary 2016

The place is exactly as described -- cozy and clean with a beautiful backyard. We had a peaceful and comfortable stay at Tommy's apartment!

ShuchiDecember 2015

We had a great sleep, which was much needed since we were delayed! The matress was comfy, the kitchen very useful. We appreciated thewfforts made to accomodate us at a later hour than planned. All in all a nice quiet studio, in the forest, nice owners, and great price value.

ManonOctober 2015

Tom & Gerry's apartment was very cozy and perfect for our needs. The apartment was very spacious and felt like a retreat getaway. Tom & Gerry made us feel very welcome and at home and were wonderful hosts.

BenjaminOctober 2016

Tommy was very friendly and accommodating. He had no problem letting me and my girlfriend check in early to fit our itinerary. His place is warm and wonderful. Perfect for a getaway in a beautiful wooded area of NY. We will be staying again!!

WayneOctober 2015

We had a lovely time staying at Tommy's cute place over Labor Day weekend. There were lots of nice touches such as fresh flowers, a feather duvet and lots of types of tea! Tommy was very approachable and helpful and just next door if needed.

JonathanSeptember 2015

WOW!!! This is one of the most beautiful cozy place we've ever stayed in our host and he's wife were amazing and made us feel at home right away there is no question that we will be visiting and staying there again ........

It was an absolute pleasure to stay in Terry's South Salem home. From the well kept and imaculately clean interior, to the scenic and peaceful lakefront exterior - this listing does not disappoint. My husband and I enjoyed every second, and Terry was a wonderful host. We only wish we could have stayed longer than a weekend. We hope to return in the future!

AllisonAugust 2016

Terry was a wonderful host! Her home is quite beautiful, fully equiped and located right on lake Waccabuc, just over an hour drive from NYC. Everything was very tidy and in excellent condition. The communication with Terry before, during and after our trip was super helpful. I can easily recommend this home to anyone who wants to have a relaxed and enjoyable stay just a short distance from the city.

ZoeyMay 2016

Lovely home and beautiful location!

AlexandriaSeptember 2016

A tranquil, magical retreat, the lake house is situated on a private road with other small lake cottages. The setting couldn't be more picturesque and the house has everything you would need. The back deck overlooking the lake provides priceless views from sunrise to sunset. There are also several state parks for hiking and such very close by. Terry was exetremly responsive with any question I had during our stay and was a wonderful host. HIGHLY recommend this house for a couple's getaway but likely not suitable for a family that needs a lot of space.

AramNovember 2016

My husband and I had such a wonderful weekend at Terry's place. It was such a relaxing experience! The home is beautifully decorated, and oh so comfortable. We will definitely be back! Terry communicated well throughout the process, and was a true pleasure.

AngieSeptember 2016

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Terry's home in South Salem. The house is beautiful and clean and views of the lake are fantastic. It was the perfect getaway and we spent most mornings discovering the lake by kayak. Thank you Terry!

gerriAugust 2016

We had a lovely stay at Terry's house over the 4th of July weekend. It was just what we were looking for. We are avid road cyclists and wanted to stay in the area for the beautiful, albeit hilly, biking and I also wanted to be able to swim in the open water. So, when my husband "found" this place on AirBnB, I was slightly skeptical since I had never heard of Lake Waccabuc before. I was so pleasantly surprised! The house is wonderful and tastefully put together, clean and very well kept. The immediate area in front of the house isn't best to swim right into, but Terry had kayaks available for us, and we kayaked 2 minutes to a more accessible area and swam away! It was such a pleasure to wake up on the lake to the sound of frogs and the sight of swans and when we weren't actually on or in the lake, the outdoor patio was the perfect place to take it all in. Terry herself was a lovely host and we were very appreciative of our wonderful weekend!

FredrikJuly 2016

This lake house is amazing. Quiet, beautiful and welcoming - it became a home for us within 24 hours. Whenever we went anywhere in town, I just couldn't wait to go back and hit the lake on one of the kayaks. Sitting on the dock and drinking coffee while the family of swans made their way across the lake each morning was one of the many highlights. This home is well maintained and the care they put into the decor really shows - minimal and modern, a fantastic quaint design that has just what you need with nothing excessive in the way. We rarely used the TV or downstairs office area because of how much we wanted to be outside on the deck or in the hot tub. Thank you Terry - I hope we'll be back soon! Christopher

Vincent's house was a great setting for our family gathering during the holidays. We had plenty of room for visiting and entertaining, and the well-equipped kitchen enabled us to prepare several large and delicious meals. And because the weather was unseasonably warm we were able to enjoy the patio furniture and back yard, making our stay that much more pleasant. Several mornings we observed deer exploring the property. The bedrooms were comfortable and roomy, and Vincent helped accommodate all of our kids by furnishing a couple of very high quality air mattresses and associated bedding. The house is located just over the CT border, which made visits to family and friends in Ridgefield very convenient. It's also a quick ride to the Westchester County airport, which was important to us as some of our family traveled in and out of HPN. The Katonah MetroNorth station is also fairly close. The house and grounds are as described in the listing. Since we were on a long road trip it was good for us to have use of the washer and dryer. The internet service at the house was very fast, an important feature since we had a houseful of internet users for work and play. Vincent and Maria were very responsive to all of our communications, by both email and phone call. Overall it was an excellent Airbnb stay.

TaraOctober 2016

I thought this home and host was the best air n and n experience I have ever had. Thank you for a lovely time.

LilySeptember 2016

My boyfriend and I wanted a nice escape from the hustle and bustle of NYC. We came across Walker's quaint place in upstate NY and let me tell you, the pictures don't do it justice. The place was absolutely perfect, and decorated so nicely. It had everything we needed for a weekend getaway. We were surrounded by trees and nature's beauty. We went for walks, cooked, and enjoyed some very nice restaurants nearby. Walker was a fabulous host and beyond accommodating. We will definitely be back for another stay!

MeganNovember 2016

My wife and I had a fantastic weekend getaway at Walker's cottage. It's a beautiful place on a private block that offers peace and quiet. The lake is stunning and is just a few steps away. The cottage had everything we needed and Walker was helpful with any questions we had. A definite recommend.

EllySeptember 2016

We loved the secluded getaway in Pound Ridge! Everything about the location was serene. The bed was big and comfortable in the most darling loft room with fabulous natural light. The kitchen was stocked with coffee and basic cooking supplies. We arrived late at night without a car are we would have happily stayed another week! Our only regret was that we could not stay longer. I cannot say enough about this sweet little retreat!

MaryJuly 2016

I selfishly don't want to write a good review on the cottage because I want it to myself every weekend! It was super charming and felt like we were living in a little tree house. It felt like home and everything was done to perfection. The location in Pound Ridge was great for the places we needed to commute to for horse related activities. Walker and his wife were also incredibly kind, helpful and gracious. Great job guys, your soon to be neighbors - haha.

BriannaJune 2016

HeatherJuly 2015

Ira's place was absolutely perfect. The property is just a short 1 hour drive from NYC (without traffic!) and is set in a beautiful part of the world right next to a big reservation which was great for hikes. The cottage has all the mod cons and was very comfortable. The photographs really don't do it justice! Ira was incredibly accommodating and responsive. Highly recommend this place, we would love to come back again, this time for a longer stay. Thank you Ira!

SarahJune 2016

The house and garden are super beautiful and quiet. Everything was there including tea, spices etc- loved the bathtub and swimming pool! I will come back!!

SandraJune 2016

Everything was nice as expected for a cottage. There was a big enough lawn area for my kids to play in between pool fun. There was a nice sofa/settee upstairs that could be replaced by a sofa bed for little kids (who are afraid of sleeping alone downstairs). The cottage is well equipped. Great get-away option.

PatriciaJune 2016

Ira's cottage was a beautiful retreat for my family. It looked even better than the photos. The kitchen was lovely to cook in, the bath and shower were incredible, and the whole house was warm and inviting. Ira was a clear communicator who gave great local recommendations and made our stay in this picturesque New England setting feel like home. I'd gladly come back. Great experience!

BlairJune 2015

Ira and Rita's cottage was fabulous. It was just as depicted on the web site. It was very clean and the property was beautiful. They were wonderful hosts. Ira and rita made sure we were comfortable and everything we needed. They also were responsive to any questions we had and were very knowledgeable about the area.

SharonJune 2014

We have just had the most wonderful two week stay at Ira's place. The house is gorgeous, perfectly set up with everything needed. The land is beautiful too, our kids enjoyed playing in the field behind the house and in the excellent pool surrounded by lovely planting and fruit trees. Check in simple, questions rapidly answered , location superb with top restaurants nearby, splendid pound ridge reservation and close enough to the city if you feel like leaving the idyll. I've had only excellent airbnb stays but this was the best by far! Thank you Ira!

Escape to the Westchester countryside!!! Enjoy the privacy of this pre-revolutionary farm and the serenity of the surrounding open lands... It is an easy drive from NYC with lots to do in every season!!! There are great restaurants nearby, historic sites, cultural destinations, local farm stands, and tons of activities for all ages. The house is rustic but has a fully equipped kitchen and a fireplace ready to be lit. Be aware that you must be able to manage stairs to the upper bedrooms!

The photos shown have not been updated with the new furniture and beds. I believe in comfort but that every piece needs to have beauty and function. The new king and twin beds upstairs are supremely comfortable. New photos to follow....
You will not share the house with anyone. The horse manager will come daily to feed and care for the horses. You can give them carrots if you wish but only with an open hand so they do not bite a finger along with the carrot. If you don't know how to do this, please leave them alone.
There is a farm manager that lives in another cottage on the farm should you need emergency help. And I am always nearby for assistance. Texting me is the best way to reach me.

Bedford, NY consists of 3 hamlets (Bedford Hills, Bedford Village, and Katonah). There are so many places to explore. This farm cottage is an ideal to launch.
The Bedford Hills and Katonah train stations both have full-time taxis to bring you to the farm but I highly recommend your own car to shop and explore.
There is lousy cell service in many places around Northern Westchester. We have a Verizon booster so you will get service if you are a Verizon customer. If not, you will find "pockets" of service around the barnyard.

We had a wonderful time at Shirley's cottage and at the farm. The house is very cozy, tastefully decorated and very well equipped. The farm looks like a postcard. It's just really beautiful and peaceful. Shirley is a wonderful host. She gave us excellent tips and she was very responsive. We are looking forward to coming back!

This small but romantic and cozy cabin was perfectly situated on a beautiful farm in rural Bedford. It's amazing to find such a retreat so close to the city. While the cabin is historic and small, Shirley's done a terrific job of making it charming, super clean and well decorated. She provides clean, stylish and comfortable bedding, towels and even toiletries to make it feel like a stay at a formal BnB or boutique hotel. The surrounding are magical with horses out the back door and farms around every corner. We will definitely return!

JayOctober 2016

We were looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway from the city over Columbus Day weekend, and found the perfect place to stay in Shirley's cozy home. Shirley and her husband were warm and accommodating, and made us feel right at home when we arrived. Between the postcard perfect views, the horses grazing in the background, and the crackling fire on a crisp, autumn night, we had the most wonderful weekend. We would definitely stay here again, and our only regret is that we had to return to the city!

Amanda October 2016

We just spent another wonderful weekend at Shirley's cabin. It's such an easy getaway from the city and so peaceful. The cabin is wonderful, perfectly equipped and Shirley is the best host. She will really make sure you have a great stay. We can't wait to go back!

I can't decide what was better - Lauren's hospitality or the gorgeous diggs and location. Her house is grand, nestled in the woods, and the only sounds you hear are the ones put out by nature. Think gentle-wind-in-the-trees. Her home is beautiful with lots of natural light and views of the acres of woods surrounding it; she's also generous about use fo the common areas. The room itself and bathroom were spotless. Great shower. We naturally hit it off with Lauren, who is easy going, open minded and easy to talk to. She also took the time to give us some great tips about the area. Since we arrived late at night, we didn't get a sense of how lovely Pound Ridge is. In the morning, we were in for a surprise - the entire area is absolutely stunning: rolling hills, woods, amazing estates, horse country, ponds, charming small towns. We were in the area for a retreat in nearby Wilton, but half the pleasure was driving to and from the retreat - that's how gorgeous the area is. I wholeheartedly recommend Lauren's place, and I know that we can't wait to head back. Thank you so much, Lauren!

NadiaMarch 2016

We loved staying at Lauren's home. She was very inviting and kind. Although she was away for most of our stay, she left detailed notes and checked in from time to time to make sure we were okay. The room is exactly as described. Would definitely recommend staying at her home.

VishnuMarch 2016

Lauren was a great host, very welcoming and was helpful with my late arrival. The house is neat and clean and situated in a very nice wooded setting. I will definitely repeat when in the area.

GeorgeOctober 2015

This is the second time I've stayed at Lauren's place and it was great like the last time. It's a real cozy feel/ambiance nestled in the woods but not far from civilization if needed The bed is quite comfortable and Lauren is a great host. Will come back again.

GeorgeSeptember 2016

Lauren was an absolute sweetheart; she is very friendly and accommodating towards her guests. I cancelled the last day of my trip and Lauren was understanding of my situation. The room is very spacious and bigger in real life than in the pictures. Since the house is located in the woods, it can get chilly but Lauren provided a heater so my stay was very comfortable. The bathroom is very clean and has all the toiletries one needs. I would definitely recommend this place!

JennyDecember 2015

Lauren was flexible with my arrival time. When I got lost on the way to her home, she returned my phone call quickly to provide directions. Her male friend initially greeted me outside and showed me where to park. Once inside, Lauren was friendly and gave me a tour of her home. I put my food in the fridge. Was provided with a bar of soap and towels, in the small, yet clean bathroom upstairs, a stone's throw from the room I rented. The room was clean, yet a bit chilly, because Lauren left the windows open to let the hardwood floors dry, because she mopped the floor before I arrived. The bed seemed to be an air mattress in a frame, yet was still comfortable for the few hours I needed to sleep. Even after closing the windows the room was still a bit cold and there was only a sheet and thin blanket on the bed. I brought my own heating blanket with me, so I didn't ask Lauren for a warmer blanket, but I am sure she would have provided one for me. When I needed an iron and ironing board, she told me where I could locate it in the house. Lauren was not in the house with me during my stay, but was very responsive to my texts for things. She asked me if it would be ok to run some errands while I was there, and I said yes, so I knew she would not be around. This arrangement worked perfectly for me as I am a nurse working the night shift, and also a grad student, and just needed a quiet place to sleep and study from 11am - 8pm, before returning to work. The room is clean and the house has interesting and unique artwork throughout. I was able to use the wifi and do my studies at the large dining room table downstairs. Although I would have liked to talk with Lauren a bit more, I am 100% happy with the way my stay worked out, because I needed to sleep and study without interruption. Lauren's house also has a a few beautiful outdoor areas wish I wish I had the time to enjoy! There is also a hammock in the front yard, which also looked very inviting. Overall, the pictures are accurate. The room and bathroom are clean. The house has many indoor and outdoor spaces you can enjoy, and Lauren is a flexible and friendly host! Thank you, Lauren!

EliOctober 2015

Lauren was a great host. When my original requested room wasn't available, she upgraded me to her other room at no extra charge. She kept in touch with me about the stay, and her home is very comfortable and inviting and in a very pretty country area outside of town. What I loved the most was how she generously invited me to participate in a dinner with a delightful couple from Iran also staying with her. She clearly enjoys hosting, and I felt relaxed and warmly welcomed.

LindaOctober 2015

Lauren was an awesome host. First the room and the house were very clean and comfortable. The area is a beautiful escape from the hustle and bustle. I slept amazingly on the sleep number bed. Definitely one of my best experiences.

Lauren communicated with me prior to my arrival. The room and house were exactly as shown and stated in the Airbnb description. She was welcoming, easy going and showed me around, making me feel right at home. The house is a little off the beaten path, about 1 mile from a very sweet little town.

LeeSeptember 2015

Lauren made us feel welcome from the start. Our GPS was not working so Lauren picked us up in town and had us follow her back to her place. The area is beautiful and the home is comfy-cozy. Everything was as described. Thank you Lauren!

ChrisOctober 2016

Lauren was warm and welcoming. When we first arrived she was interested in getting to know us, orienting us to the house, and answering all our questions. We feel like we gained a friend by the end of our stay. She is approchable and accomadating.

brentonApril 2016

Lauren's house is charming, comfortable, beautiful and generous - as is she! Extremely close to the center of Pound Ridge but surrounded by big gorgeous windows and greenery, I really enjoyed my peaceful stay with her . . Down to the details: a super cozy bed, warm and well-lit room, private bathroom with a towel warmer and access to a full kitchen - Lauren even went above and beyond and made hot soup for me on a cold, blustery day! Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!

WinnieOctober 2015

Lauren was exceptionally accommodating from the get go. She went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable. We were running rather late into the evening and she waited up for us. As we arrived she had made us Chamomile tea and gluten free cookies! We spent a great deal getting to know one another. As it was my 59th Birthday Lauren had our room beautiful engaging with a base of flowers! We will define rely be back. Do not hesitate to ask her about Vibe Match!!

Mr & Mrs BJanuary 2016

Lauren is an extremely hospitable host, we were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Our room is 'indeed airy and spacious' and we have been comfortable throughout our stay. The facilities within the house that have been made available to us have facilitated a 'home from home' enviroment. Both Lauren and her house mate are extremely kind and fun-loving people and Marvy the dog is a real character. The locality is beautiful and connections to NYC, very picturesque semi rural towns and the beach are all very accessible. We cannot thank Lauren enough for opening up her charming home to us, and we recommend her as the perfect host.

Claire August 2014

Lauren was an excellent host, I couldn't have asked for a better place to spend my week in NY. Thanks Lauren for making me feel welcome, I would love to come back!

TaylorFebruary 2016

Unfortunately I didn't get to meet Lauren as she informed me a few days prior to our stay that she wouldn't be there, but she was easy to communicate with before and during the stay. Her home and property are expansive, with plenty of space to make one's self at home. My two dogs absolutely loved it. The road is quiet and peaceful, and the house felt secure and very safe there by myself. I was there for a wedding and was glad to have found such a comfortable place. My guest room and ensuite bath and dressing area were large with high ceilings and two big sky lights. The sunrise wakes you so if you're sensitive to light bring an eye mask! The bed is comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped if you cook, which I did. Glad the wedding brought me to the area as I'd love to return.

Spend the summer in a green, sustainably renovated, historic landmark 3BD house; harvest fresh veggies and flowers from the stone mandala garden; frolic in a 4000-acre backyard reservation and still be only an hour train ride from Grand Central.

A landmark historic home built in 1760 and restored in 2013, the entire house has original wide-plank hardwood floors and exposed beams. The first floor is an open layout with a gourmet kitchen including subzero, miele and viking appliances, a large pantry, and plenty of seating around the dining table and raw wood bar. Sit on the leather loveseats and look out the picture windows, sip wine at the old-growth oak countertop bar, or lounge in the living room, with double sliding glass doors, local stone fireplace, and reclaimed barnwood wall.
Upstairs, the master bedroom looks out on the gardens, old-growth trees, and dappled forest. The master bath has a large slate shower and sink. A second bedroom looks out over a hemlock grove and sleeps one in a daybed. The third bedroom has a bunk bed and sleeps two. The second full bath has a large clawfoot soaking tub, cypress wood paneling, and antique marble sink. A full size washer and dryer on the second floor make laundry convenient.
The house was renovated with geo-thermal heating and cooling, powered entirely by wind power. All appliances are energy efficient.
Collect fresh eggs every day from the six chickens in their self-contained coop. Pick your own herbs, salad greens and other organic veggies from the gardens, or enjoy a bottle of wine sitting in one of the garden nooks. Enjoy a soak in the outdoor clawfoot tub, fully functional with hot and cold water, while watching the birds, bees and butterflies flutter in the surrounding trees and flowers.
Soak up the sun in the grassy stone-walled gardens, swing under the grape arbor, picnic at the 100 year old apple tree, roast marshmallows around the cast-iron fire cauldron, or dine at the 9ft long garden table. Enjoy the afternoon shade of the slate patio or the morning sun on the wrap-around deck.
Forty miles of trails await you in Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Westchester's largest tract of preserved land. To access trails, just follow the path along the stone walls at the back of the property. Half a mile walk in the woods leads to the Overlook where you can view clear across the county, over the reservoir, to the mountains on the other side of the Hudson River. Pick wild blueberries, forage for mushrooms, or harvest wild raspberries. A quarter mile down the road is a stream to cool your feet, and a half mile away are trails down to the reservoir waters.
A gorgeous ten-minute drive through the country and along the reservoir leads to the quaint towns of Bedford and Katonah, where Metro-North commuter trains run take you to Grand Central in 60 minutes or less.
Dine at numerous farm-to-table restaurants, including The Inn at Pound Ridge, Bedford Post Inn, and Truck. Locally, visit the Katonah Museum of Art, visit the farmers markets, and stroll the gardens at John Jay Homestead, Hammond Japanese Gardens, and Garden of Ideas in South Salem. Don't miss the stellar summer outdoor concerts and music festivals at Caramoor, just two miles down the road.

Pound Ridge and the surrounding towns of Bedford and Katonah, were recently written up as an alternative to the Hamptons for the summer, with its country roads, lots of greenery, high end restaurants and beautiful views: (website hidden)?_r=0

The nearest train station is Katonah, less than 15 minutes drive through the scenic countryside. From Katonah the train to grand central is an hour.
We do have fast wifi internet, but THERE IS NO TV.
The house gets limited cell phone reception. There is a house land line which is available for guests to use.
There are six chickens in a self-contained coop and run.

We had a wonderful time with our kids at this beautiful home bordering the Ward Pound Ridge Reservation. We enjoyed hiking with our kids, as the trails start right from the garden. We dined al fresco and cooked s'mores on the fire pit in the garden. The kids loved the little bunny and playing on the tire swing and hammock. The house is tastefully renovated and has a lot of charm. It's also an energy efficient house with an edible garden, and gave us a chance to have a wonderful retreat with views into the forest surrounded by old trees. We also explored the area and really loved Pound Ridge. It is a special place in Westchester; a natural environment so close to NYC. The highlights of our trip with the children were: Caramoor Music Festival, visiting Muscoot Farm and seeing a historic farm and all the baby animals ( calves, chick, lambs, kids).. John Jay Homestead Farmer's Market, hikes on Pound Ridge Trails, the village of Katonah, Rockefeller Estate and eating out at small local restaurants. We highly recommend this home and the owners really made it a special place.

Keely's house is a true upstate gem. The house is extremely welcoming and the layout and attention to detail is obvious throughout the house. You can tell that a lot of love has been put into making the house welcoming and warm. We really enjoyed our time there. Keely was very easy to communicate with and made sure our time at the house was perfect. The yard is expansive and the hiking trail next to house is a huge bonus. And the outdoor seating is magic.

amandaJune 2015

Keely was an incredible host. Super communicative before our visit and extremely responsive and attentive during our stay (not that we needed any assistance; but it was great to have her check in!). The home was immaculate and inviting; a truly welcome place for a family like ours (with two children under 10) to settle in and explore, play and rest. Keely generously gave us access to her chickens (amazing eggs for breakfast!) and garden (the crispest and freshest radishes...) - what an unexpected and delightful experience. Looking forward to coming again!

AbramJune 2016

It is a wonderful environmentally-friendly house, and we had a great stay. Keely was so helpful - even helped us arrange a babysitter. Loved seeing the rabbit and chickens and hiking in Ward Pound Ridge Reservation. Keely had great restaurant and activity suggestions prepared for our arrival.

A dream home with original wooden beams, stone walls and barn decor. A great escape from NYC yet you are only 1 hr 15 minutes away. The 10 acre property is surrounded by nature with a 1000 acre park with great hiking trails within walking distance. A backyard propane grill, vegetable garden, fresh water pool, stream and private pond with a canoe complete the experience. Best feature? A stone wall double shower that makes you feel as though you are showering in a cave. A one-of-a-kind house!

The stone foundation dates to the 1780s and the original wood from the exterior of the barn was used to renovate the interior.
There is no central A/C however there are 3 window units for the upstairs. The master bedroom is downstairs where it's cooler however there is no A/C for the master or downstairs areas ( because there are no windows, only large glass doors in master bedroom and kitchen/dining areas).
The property manager's apartment is attached to the main house but he has his own entrance.
Everything except for the property manager's apartment
The owners will not be present but there is an onsight property manager available to assist guests 24/7.

Bucolic horse country with great hiking nearby. All of your shopping needs are covered in Ridgefield, CT which is a 12 minute drive. Some excellent restaurants are just down the road: Farmer and the Fish, 121, Vox (2 minutes away) and The Inn at Pound Ridge.
The metro-north train stations (Purdy's and Golden's Bridge) are a 15 minute drive from the house.
We have a propane grill for your use as well as an outdoor shower on the side of the pool house for showering in the open air!
The property manager and his family's apartment is attached to the house but they have a separate entrance so you will not see them unless you need something.

Amazing house and location. Everything was true to the description. Wood from the property helped restore this old barn. Such a great place for a getaway: amazing pool, bbq, bond fire, fully equipped kitchen for great dinners, all very close to convenient Ridgefield stores. Would love to come back again. Also Ryan the property manager was very helpful. Thank you Emily for great communication and an awesome weekend.

ClémentJune 2016

Wonderful home. Big beautiful windows and cozy kitchen area. Amazing backyard with pool and fun hiking area to explore out back. Hostess was so helpful and was always able to get in touch with. Highly recommend if you want a lot of space and charm. We loved it so much we are staying there again!

We had a wonderful time at Emily's lovely house this weekend. The house was so beautifully decorated with charming details. The pool was amazing, the views of nature stunning! We loved everything about the property be can't wait to come back. We felt like we were camping in the woods and was a great escape from the city!

My family stayed here including our two kids, 11 and 9. We absolutely LOVED it. Of all of the Airbnb homes we've stayed in it's by far the best. The owner clearly furnished and decorated as a second home and not an investment property. Meaning that the furnishings are very high end and fit the style of the home. The linens were Vera Wang and the furniture was top notch. My wife is a photographer and is super picky on what she likes. She loved the home which is super rare. The location is quiet but a short drive into town Ridgefield (10 minutes). The town is so quaint with great dining options and everyone had a great time. The beds were comfortable and everything was well appointed. There is air conditioning upstairs (window units in the bedrooms) which kept the kids comfortable. The downstairs master doesn't have any AC since it's full sized sliding glass doors but the temp downstairs stayed cool. They have an property manager that lives in an attached apartment to the house. He has a separate entrance and can not access the house. We worried that this would be an issue but the home is closed off from the apartment. There is no issue at all here so don't let that stop you. If we are back in the area, we'd certainly stay there again. It's our all time favorite home from Airbnb.

The area, house and property are bucolic. Absolutely beautiful and relaxing. The pool is stunning and the house is clean, comfortable and well designed. Lots of charm everywhere. Emily was very responsive and Ryan the property manger was very nice and helpful with any questions we had. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone seeking peace and quiet in a beautiful setting.

We had a great time over Memorial weekend. The house was as described—comfortable and nicely decorated. Emily was very helpful and responsive. Great place for a weekend stay that’s not too far from the city. We would definitely book again.

Pound Ridge is a very special town. It is a charming rural town in Westchester County, with fine restaurants and shops including Jean- Georges Vongerichten's new Inn at Pound Ridge, with Bedford horse country next door and Stamford, CT, a full service small city with shopping and restaurants a stone throw away.
The area is a biking mecca, with forty miles of trails awaiting you in Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Westchester's largest preserved land. To access trails, just follow the path along the stone wall at the back of the property. Half a mile walk in the woods leads to the Overlook where you can view clear across the county, over the reservoir, to the mountains on the other side of the Hudson River.
A gorgeous ten-minute drive through the country and along the reservoir leads to the quaint towns of Bedford and Katonah, where Metro-North commuter trains take you to Grand Central in 60 minutes.
We are also located within a 15 minute distance from Pepsi, Pepsico, UBS and RBS, as well as various IBM locations.
We are on a dead end road close to a small town that's biggest intersection is a four way stop sign. We are close to many amazing hiking trails and small towns with great restaurants and shopping.

Danny, Lauren and their amazing pets were all very welcoming and accommodating when I arrived. Staying here was stress free and the neighborhood and surrounding cities a pleasure to visit and explore. I would highly recommend staying here if you are visiting the area.
